THE CHINESE MUST GO.
A Great Outrage in the Snake River
Mines.

Mines.
PORTLAND, OREGON, July T. 1t is re-
ported from Idaho that number of the
Chinese mining camps along Snake Riv-
er have been raided either by the Indians
or the whites. Numerous mutilated bod
les of Cinnamon have come down the
stream, four or five being found together
few days since. 1t is thought to be the
work of white men, who robbed the Chi
nese of their gold dust, and it is said the
Chinese minister at Washington has been
informed of the outrage.

Once in shop workman wrought,
With languid hand and listless thought,
When, through the open window space,
Behold q camel thrust his face!
my nose Is cold" he meekly cried;
"Oh, let me warm 1t by thy sideT'
Since no denial word was said,
In came the nose, in came the head
AS sure as sermon follows text,
The long and scraggy neck came next;
And then as falls the threatening storm,
In leaped the whole ungainly form.
Aghast, the owner gazed around,
And to the rude invader frown'd,
Convinced, as closer still he prest,
There was no room for such guest:
Yet more astopished heard him say,
"If thou art troubled, go thy way,
For in this place choose to stay"
Oh, youthful hearts, to gladness born.
Treat not this Arab lore with scorni
To evil habits earliest vile
Lend neither ear, nor glance, nor smile;
Choke the dark fountain ere It flows,
Nor cen admit the camepsn nose.

The rendition of the popular
drama, "rhe Last I.oaf,n by the
Lamar Dramatic Troupe Tuesday
and "Wednesday nights was an en-
joyab!e surprise to the crowded
houses. The young ladies and gem
tlemen who have taken in hand the
effort to anuse and entertain the
public have spared neither time or
money in preparing or practielng.
The stage at the hall has been fitted
up to the equal of many opera houses
necessary shifting scenery to bring
out reality in their renditions.
We but voice what is said by all
who witnessed the play when we
say it would be hard 10 improve on

home air; Ed. Hamilton had the look,

Hill, the lover, has certainly had

would be good in any part especially
the comic which he took; while
Watt Brown brought down the
house every time he stepped on the
s,age. Miss Ethel Saint and Miss
Mamie and Sallie Cooper displayed
an ease and grace in their role that
was pleasing to the audience. Miss
sSallie has the natural turn and tact
10 make favorite on the boards
where ever she might appear and
Just fun enough about her to enjoy
the par: so well taken by her in the

came. in and afforded cause for CON
siderable laughter. The troupe have
as fine an orchestra as thcle is in
Eastern Colorado which adds much
to the pleasure of their entertain-
nents. We hope it will be but a
short time until they will again

loFFIcIAL PAPER OF THE CITY
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1887-12-14
HONEST TAXATION.

The President, in the performance of q
constitutional duty, informed Congress
that the Government is taking from the
earnings of the people about 500, 900, 900
annually, for which it has no legitimate
use.
1t requires no argument to show that
when, by any process whatever, a Govern
ment takes from the earnings of theHpeo-
pie more money than is required for an
honest and economical administration of
the Government, most odious sdespotic
power is exercised, fruitful of disasters
and that is just what the Government of
the United States has been doing for years.
The President clearly points out the dis
honesty of the proceeding, and recon-
mends q reduction of taxation to point
where no more money shall he taken from
the earnings of the people than the Gov
eminent needs for its honest, economical
administration.
To remedy the great wrong, the Presi-
dent refers to the fact that taxes are now
imposed upon what are termed the luxu-
RES and the necessities of life.
Suppose, for illustration, we select two ar
ticles as representing luxury and neces-
sity of life, both taxed for the purpose OF
revenue, and about which there need be no
controversy relating to terms.
Sugar is a necessity; it is taxed to the ex-
tent Of say SOL, 100000 year. Whisky is
a luxury; it is taxed tt. the extent Of say
S65, zoo, 900 year.
The question arises, shall the Govern
ment maintain the tax on sugar and re-
move it from whisky, or shall the Gov
eminent reduce the tax on sugar and LEI
the tax on whisky remain as it Is?
Those who oppose the Presid ants policy
demand that whisky shall be free, and that
sugar shall be taxed.
The indianapolis Journal and the Rspub-
lican party demand taxed sugar and free
whisky.
Free trade in whisky Is the Republican
battle cry.
We submit that honest taxation de-
mands that the people shall have cheaper
sugar. It is one of the great necessities of
life-whisky is luxury. Those who want
IT can well afford to pay the tax, or if they
should conclude to let it severely alone. no
harm can come of the resolution. Let il
be remembered that the Republican party
is committed to the policy OF taxed sugar
| and free trade in whisky

Defended His Home.

PIoUA, Ohio, December IA terrible
tragedy occurred at farm house two miles
from this city on Monday night between
8 and 10 O'Clock. While Mr., John Wolf
was sitting at home with his two sisters
they were alarmed by the sound of heavy
strokes on the front door. The door soon
gave way and Mr.. Wolf sprang to the door
of the sitting room, locked it and brsced
himself against it, Just as it was also as
sailed in the same manner. One Of his
sisters ran for the loaded double barreled
shot gun and placed it in her brothers
hands just as the door yielded and revealed
two masked men, the foremost OF whom
leveled revolver at Mr.. Wolf. The re-
yoIyer an6 shot gun were discharged sim
ultaneously. The robbers aim missed and
shattered glass on the table, Mr.. VOLTS
shot took effect and the remaining robber
seized his wounded comrade and dragged
him out. Mr.. VOLTS second barrel missed
fire. He then bolted and barricaded the
door, unable to call help and afraid to
leave the house. After horrible night
he went out in the morning and found the
dead man not twenty yards away. In the
afternoon the coroner removed the mas
and found q young man supposed to be
canal boatman. A sharp butcher knife was
in his possession. No clew is found to his
companion. Murder and robbery were
undoubtedly intended.

will receive such an impetus as will be
